John Denton from Diabetes NZ explains a prominent international study about the disease.
• 1 in 10 has diabetes
• Pacific Islanders worst affected
• Requires Self Management
• Government Leadership
• What happened to the National Plan of Action on Diabetes in 1995?
• Its a Hidden disease
• You die from the consequences
• Half the Heart Attacks in NZ
• Half the Blindness in NZ
• Greatest number of Amputations
• The NZ health system could 'fall over' as it is geared only to 'acute management'.
• Type 2 diabetics are 90% of the problem, but can be controlled at least cost. It is a Social Problem, not a Medical Problem.
